Nothing left to do but wait. That's the hard part. lol. But what a fun project. I can see why some build 2 or 3 of these.

Looks great! super clean build. Are the "cobra" letters on your calipers pain or vinyl decals? just thinking that vinyl will likely melt off over time w/ the heat from the brakes.

Good point. Not sure of the material but they are precut letters with the description that they were for calipers. After I applied them, they received 2 coats high temp caliper clear coat. We'll see how they hold up.

Did you sew the center console cover yourself?

Looks great! I'm waiting for paint as well. I still have a few minor things but just playing the waiting game.

Yes. I bought the leather to match the seats, got some upholstery foam, and the oversized transmission tunnel aluminum from 520 speed works and took them my my local upholstery shop. I drew my idea of what I wanted on the transmission tunnel and the shop was able to make it happen. I was really impressed with their work. I installed the FFR tunnel cover as instructed, added sound/heat insulation, then used industrial strength Velcro to install this piece. No rivets, bolts, etc makes it look very clean. Additional hold down support in the front as I build a small carpeted panel to hide the sniper hand held control unit wires.

Check the orientation of your cowl cover.
